In+Stanzas+of+Freedom+and+Free+Labor,+Lowell+and+Harper+use+symbols+to+trigger+public+interest+in+the+protest+against+slavery.

In our presentation, we talked about the author's use of symbols.

In "Stanzas on Freedom", the author uses the symbol of a chain. The chain is to symbolized how the slaves were held down. The author in "Free Labor" uses the symbol of clothes to portray something that a slave had to make. They refused to wear something that was produced by a slave, which would be supporting slavery.
